Why Eave — How much would you pay to actually know?

The problem

You live there. You still can't answer the question.

What size filter does the furnace take? When was the water heater installed, and is it still under warranty? Who fixed the roof last time, and did they ever come back? What paint is on the hallway walls? These are not trick questions. They are the ordinary details of a home you know well — and almost nobody can answer them without digging through a drawer, a group text, or a memory that has already moved on.

It is not a failure of caring. The persona we hear most is capable but overwhelmed: someone who owns a home, looks after it, and still never has a clear picture of what it needs. As one homeowner put it, "I don't even know what I don't know." The information exists. It is just scattered across receipts, inboxes, contractor voicemails, and the sticker on the side of an appliance in the basement.

The furnace filter size — a number you need twice a year and remember never.
When the water heater went in, and when the warranty runs out.
Who fixed the roof, what it cost, and whether it's still guaranteed.

The cost

Not-knowing isn't free. It's just billed later.

A missing detail is quiet right up until it isn't. The small fix you never logged becomes the emergency you can't schedule. The warranty you forgot lapses two months before the part fails. And when it's time to sell, insure, or refinance, the questions arrive all at once — and every gap in the record turns into a delay, a lower number, or an awkward "I'm not sure."

That is the real math of not-knowing: a $150 flapper you meant to deal with becomes a $5,600 repair once the damage spreads. Nearly all of the money — the $8,808 a year — is already being spent. The problem was never the budget. It was that no one kept the record that would have made the money land in the right place, at the right time.

The shift

Capture once. Get it back when you need it.

Eave is the memory that closes the gap. You capture the home once — by speaking, snapping a photo, or typing a note — and the specs, the schedule, the budget, and the history come back the moment you need them. Nothing has to be filed perfectly, because Eave does the filing.

The Home Knowledge Base holds every room, appliance, contractor, and repair as a searchable record — a furnace becomes "Carrier 59TP6, installed 2015, warranty through 2029, filter 16×25×1 MERV 11" instead of a shrug. And Eave Intelligence turns that record into direction: what needs attention now, ranked and reasoned, before it becomes the expensive kind of surprise.

One home, one memory: projects, tasks due, and the record behind each one.

The answer

So — how much would you pay to actually know?

It's a fair question, and it has an unfair answer: nothing, to start. Eave is free for one property, forever, and runs in any browser. Your first capture takes about five seconds, and from then on the home remembers itself.

Which turns the title question around. The real question was never whether knowing is worth it — the money, the stress, and the surprises already made that case. The real question is why you'd keep living in a home you can't answer for.
